70 COUNTRIES TO TRAVEL WITH A SCHENGEN VISA
Traveling on a third-country passport often means extra visas, fees, and interviews. A valid Schengen visa can be reused: it covers the 29 Schengen states and also works for visa-free or simplified access to 41 more countries. Below is a concise list with stay limits, entry rules, and caveats to help plan routes with fewer surprises.

Schengen Area (29 countries)
The Schengen Area acts as one zone: passports checked on first entry, then open movement inside.
- 🇦🇹 Austria
- 🇧🇪 Belgium
- 🇧🇬 Bulgaria
- 🇭🇷 Croatia
- 🇨🇿 Czech Republic
- 🇩🇰 Denmark¹
- 🇪🇪 Estonia
- 🇫🇮 Finland
- 🇫🇷 France²
- 🇩🇪 Germany
- 🇬🇷 Greece
- 🇭🇺 Hungary
- 🇮🇸 Iceland
- 🇮🇹 Italy
- 🇱🇻 Latvia
- 🇱🇮 Liechtenstein

- 🇳🇱 Netherlands³
- 🇳🇴 Norway⁴
- 🇵🇱 Poland
- 🇵🇹 Portugal
- 🇷🇴 Romania
- 🇸🇰 Slovakia
- 🇸🇮 Slovenia
- 🇪🇸 Spain⁵

¹ Excludes Greenland/Faroe Islands · ² Excludes overseas territories · ³ Excludes Aruba/Curaçao/Sint Maarten/Caribbean Netherlands · ⁴ Excludes Svalbard · ⁵ Special provisions for Ceuta and Melilla.
Within these 29, four are non-EU (EFTA) members with their own border rules (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland). The only EU members outside Schengen today are Cyprus and Ireland.
De facto microstates (no internal border checks) you can visit on the same Schengen visa:
These microstates aren't formal Schengen members but have open borders with surrounding Schengen countries.
Schengen visa types (what works here)
- Type A: Airport transit only.
- Type C: Short stay (tourism/business, up to 90/180). Single/double/multiple entry determines how many crossings you can make.
- Type D: Long stay (study/work); acts like residency for entry.
- Residence permit: From any Schengen country.
Most of the 41 non-Schengen countries below expect a valid, multiple-entry Type C Schengen visa—often already used once—or a residence permit. Unless noted otherwise, assume they only accept Type C multiple entry and may require that the visa has been stamped at least once. Always check validity, remaining entries, and stay days before traveling.
